    Sandy Petersen is a Mormon and I have no idea about his politics, but he's probably some kind of bigot too if I had to guess. He made some of my favorite Doom 2 levels though. American McGee seems cool. Shawn Green doesn't have much of an internet presence.

    Bobby Prince (the music composer) I'd really want to know more about him. He was a platoon leader in Vietnam so I would be surprised if he's witness or committed warcrimes. He was also a lawyer but I can't find his case history at all. I hope he's cool and not like the rest because I really admire his music.

    I used to almost worship the Doom staff and I should have known all along they were just humans like us.

      Not all Mormons suck. Brian Sanderson has managed to avoid spewing any kind of vile bigotry across a prodigious volume of literature.

      As younger people with less exposure to the GenX conservatives of modern day, maybe they did suck less back in the 90s. Or maybe you sucked more (I'm not particularly proud of my teenage political tastes) and so their vulgarity wasn't as apparent. Hard to say.

      But I've noticed a consistent amount of brain rot that comes with amassed fortune, particularly when they let you into the Kool Kids Klub and some Epstein type starts handing out drinks.

        Yeah, he didn't just help make Doom, Sandy Petersen was the most prolific level designer for the games. He designed 19 levels in Doom 1 and 17 in 2.

        Not only was he prolific, his maps are great. They're usually regarded as the best levels in the games, like in Doom 2 he did map 7: Dead Simple and map 8: Tricks and Traps. Somehow he's also a Mormon. He also writes HP Lovecraft fiction.

        Also turns out he's an outspoken transphobe and overall chud.
